sure, it is. But not could not be seen, because PSTricks
overwrites anything and the pspicture environment reserves only
the space (box)


\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\begin{document}

\psframebox[framesep=0pt]{
\psset{unit=1.7}
\pspicture(-1.5,-1.5)(1.5,1.5)
     \psaxes[labels=none,ticks=none]{->}(0,0)(-1.5,-1.5)(1.5,1.5)
     \psarc(0,0){1}{72.75}{107.25}
     \uput[0](0,1.5){$y$}
     \uput[-90](1.5,0){$x$}
     %\uput[-90](1.08,0){$1$}
\endpspicture
}

\end{document}
